Well, there is this movie called Juno. And right in the beginning of that, the main character, Juno, walks into a convenient store with an empty jug of Sunny D. She asks for a pregnancy test and the keys to the bathroom. When she walks to the back of the store without paying, the man behind the counter shouts: “Don’t think it’s yours just because you’ve marked it with your urin!”.
I saw Juno at the theater with Natalia and Frida and a couple of other friends. I saw it again with Natalia and the gang when we’d just arrived in La Paz. And after that, quotes from the film became frequently used at more or less appropriate situations during our travels through the Andes to the deep Amazon rainforest.
So, you can understand why me and Mr. P had to try this infamous juice from this cult movie when we saw the jugs on the supermarket shelf. If only just to be able to tell Natalia when we came back home. I thought it tasted like juice that doesn’t really even try to resemble real orange juice. Mr. P found the mix of sweet and sour to go perfectly with his breakfast cream cheese blueberry bagel.
